I got one from this place which I can recommend: http://www.carcoversuk.com/

You can get a 15% discount on them by mentioning StephenM from SELOC. See thread: http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=175978&...

I have some photos of it fitted- pm me if you want them sent.

Car cover ordered from carcoversuk (classicadditions don't do 'tailored' ones for an S2 exige).

Thanks, and extra thanks for the 15% discount tip.

just a word of warning from experience on car covers, buy them for what you want them to do

For example: At £70 ish a water resistant one will mean your motor will still get wet as they are just fabric coated with a water proofing treatment

If you want a dry car expect to pay £120 + and this 'should' be water proof although they wont guarantee it !

Mine was £175 including discount, as long as it stops foreign objects damaging the car and keeps the worst of the water out I'll be happy.

When I get it I'll report back.

It'll keep the worst of the water out and they are pretty tough. Good company to deal with as well, sent me some offcuts large enough to patch a rip in mine when some arse of a neighbour decided to drive their car along the front of mine.

Yep another one here for Specialised Car Covers.


It's spot on, very well made and breathable so you can wash your car and put it on straight away if in a rush.

Haven't tested how waterproof the cover is yet but the fit and overall quality of the cover is fantastic.

Very impressed so far. Even the wife thinks it looks good.

Highly recommended.

As above - you get what you pay for.

Make sure it is lined, and also breathable.

I just ordered a fully tailored "Noah" from http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Product/P...

These guys make the cover to fit your exact car - i.e. the Exige one will take into account the rear spolier etc.

I've got a "Specialised" indoor cover on my S1 Exige. They were even able to customise it for me as I wanted a small slot for the aerial in mine thet they didn't have as standard. The quality and finish is SUPERB and I'm very happy with it. I just need the car back in one piece so I can use it! smile
